East Multnomah County Soil and Water Conservation District hosts great workshops on naturescaping, which means landscaping with nature in mind.  The workshops can help teach you what plants to include in your yard and what features you can include that will help attract wildlife and encourage species diversity. And we’re not talking pesky raccoons here, naturescaping can help attract beautiful butterflies and birds to your yard.

An extension of Naturescaping Basics, this workshop gives participants experience with the specific steps involved in planning a landscape or project. You will learn how to map your property, assess your garden style and needs, do some garden dreaming, and work on a group design scenario. For this particular workshop, participants must have attended the Naturescaping Basics Workshop first.  See the EMCSWCD website for details on other workshops.
